An SSL certificate guarantees that no outside bodies can interfere with communications between your clients and your site. They protect user information from hackers, make your website more attractive to Google, and improve your SEO across all search engines. We secure SSL Certificates for all of our hosted websites and they apply across all major browsers.
We use top-of-the-line servers which enable us to maximize our hosting speed and safety, regardless of your website's size. The boost in speed offered by our servers will help optimize your site for SEO. Meanwhile our server's strategic security protocols help protect any sensitive information for you and your customers. Simply kick back and let our servers do the legwork of website storage and maintenance.
Every time a client enters their information on your website, they’re entrusting you to keep them safe from would-be hackers who want access to their sensitive data. Our servers help you deliver on that promise of safety by providing blacklist monitoring and removal, proactive malware prevention, and continuous malware removal.
One of the biggest fears in website ownership is loss - loss of files, loss of transactional data, or loss of customer information; it’s all extremely frightening to think about. That’s why we at Seven Ages Design offer website backups - to prevent you from losing crucial data. Backing up your website protects you from the acts of malicious hackers, malware or viruses, and even server failure by storing old versions of your site that are ready for use. We also take similar precautions to regularly back up our servers, because we understand that similar risks of lost data are present with servers. Regardless of whether your website is hacked, infected, or something is unintentionally lost, we’ll make sure that your site and your business can proceed as usual.
When it comes to online browsing, we know that speed is key. Our website hosting services utilize Global CDNs (Content Delivery Networks) which are servers that cache static components of websites and stores them for local use. This means, for example, that users in Europe could access content on your US-originated website through a local server in Europe instead of one in North America. This eliminates the European user’s extra wait time and connection distance that would have come from trying to access the origin server in North America. Utilizing CDNs helps us further boost your website’s speed while expanding your global reach further still.
Registering your domain name is a crucial step in cementing your digital footprint to your clients. Should you ever decide to change hosts, a registered domain name will come with you while also affording your site a great deal of both credibility and memorability amongst your users. Whether you’re looking for your website to possess preventative domain locking, complete DNS control, domain forwarding and masking abilities, auto-renew protection, or ease of transfer, we at Seven Ages Design are dedicated to making domain ownership a breeze.
Having an email address with your website's domain name will allow your business emails to give a much more legitimate impression. We offer customized business email accounts that include integrated calendars, synchronization across devices, free storage options, secure 256-bit encryption, as well as virus, fraud, and spam protection. Our professional email services will help you craft and develop a sophisticated and trustworthy business identity.
